Reine laid in her bed, trying not to think about Selina, failing miserably.
And when she wasn't thinking of Selina she was thinking of Jerome. It's been a year since he died, a year since she realized she loved him as he died in her hands.

Now she was losing Kitty-cat, for good. She had held on to the feeling that if she didn't talk to her then there still be a chance that's she wouldn't completely lose her. And now that feeling is gone and so is she.

Now all she has is plaguing memories of those she loved and lost, occasional dreams of them that will alleviate her constant nightmares.

Yet, whilst Jerome is dead and all she has are memories and dreams, Selina isn't. Selina is alive and Reine knows where to find her. Reine can't do anything about Jerome, but she can still do something about Selina. 

Reine bit her lip as she played with one of her knives, debating on whether to go help steal the secret weapon and try to fight for her relationship with Selina or not. After all, she did tell Selina she wouldn't bother her anymore and maybe she should keep her promise.
But in the end, her instincts won.

When she got there Talon, one of Court's assassins had caught Selina and Bruce at the vault. He had punched Bruce causing him to fall, dropping the rope Selina was on. Selina fell, making the alarms go off.
The Talon was walking towards Selina. But before he could attack her, Reine got his attention.

"Kitty!"

Reine jumped on top of the man, but he grabbed her and slammed her into the floor. She quickly stood up, went to stab him with her knife, but he grabbed her arm and pushed it towards her, stabbing her in the shoulder instead.
Luckily Bruce threw a smoke bomb, which gave them a moment to escape. They ran as fast as they could.

"Out the way you came!", Alfred told them as they ran past him.

They ran up towards the stairs. Alfred tried shooting the Talon, but it didn't work. They started fighting hand to hand.

"Let's go!", Selina said as they stood in the middle of the stairs, looking at the fight.

"No!", Bruce said, not budging.

As the two men fought, the Talon took out a knife. Alfred was struggling to keep the knife away. When Bruce noticed this, he ran towards them.

"No!", he said as he pushed the man off Alfred.

Talon punched Bruce making him fall. Alfred started fighting him again but was losing.
That's when Selina went down and got in front of Talon, ready to fight him. But Reine quickly pushed her away. She held his hand, keeping his knife away from her. She could feel herself struggling to keep her abilities under control. 

Then a lady crashed a vase over the man's head. Allowing her to punch him and uses his own knife to stab him under his chin. Talon dropped to the floor, dead. Reine took a moment to close her eyes and calm down as best she could.
